Tax on interest is at a different rate than capital gains tax.

Which one is higher?

I’m pretty sure that interest income is taxed, at the federal level, like wage income. In other words, at a higher rate than capital gains.

Long-term capital gains are taxed at a lower rate than ordinary income and short-term capital gains (which are taxed at income rates).
